Simplest ODE Equivalents of Chua's equations

The so-called elementary canonical state models of the third-order piecewise-linear (PWL) dynamical systems, as the simplest ODE equivalents of Chua’s equations, are presented. Their mutual relations using the linear topological conjugacy are demonstrated in order to show in detail that Chua’s equations and their canonical ODE equivalents represent various forms of qualitatively equivalent models of third-order dynamical systems. New geometrical aspects of the corresponding transformations together with examples of typical chaotic attractors in the stereoscopic view, give the possibility of a deeper insight into the third-order system dynamics.
